Given the north is dedicated mostly to reds, it is rare for old vine Carricante, but Marco has sections here that are 40 years old. These are coupled with plantings from 2007. Santo Spirito Etna Bianco, as with the Rosso made from this vineyard, produces exuberant and aromatically lifted fruit. The winemaking differs from Montalto in that after gentle pressing, fermentation occurs in oak barrels of 5 and 10hl under temperature control. Due to the highly acidic nature of the musts from the northern side, malolactic is allowed to follow. Aging occurs for 9 months in French oak barrique, with no new barrels. Fruits are much more exotic, with orchard fruits, ripe citrus, stone fruits, honeysuckle and vanilla. The wine is very textural, almost velvety, with loads of complexity, and more savoury mineral notes, albeit on the more elegant and lifted side of that spectrum.\u003c\/em\u003e Distributor notes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e\u003c!--EndFragment --\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Primavera","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44149345058996,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0561\/1261\/1508\/files\/2024_Terre_Nere_Etna_Bianco_Santo_Spirito.png?v=1771374042"},{"product_id":"2024-terre-nere-etna-bianco-vigne-niche-montalto-750ml-bottle","title":"2024 Terre Nere Etna Bianco 'Vigne Niche' Montalto 750ml Bottle","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c!--StartFragment --\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e\u003c!--StartFragment --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreamy and layered with a clean sweep of salinity framing flavours of golden apple, yellow plum, green almond and preserved lemon, plus fragrant hints of broom and wild thyme.

Marco has been looking at sites for years, making wine for friends, tasting grapes, analysing soils and firmly believes in this new site (first vintage was 2019) as being supremely suitable for whites. The vineyard sits at around 900m ASL, mitigating the effect of the warmer air blowing in from the south. The vines are en gobelet or bush vines, aged between 50 and 70 years old, grown in deep volcanic ash soils.

The soils here are entirely large pumice stone volcanic rocks of decent size overlaying ash and a large amount of sand. A moonscape of stones that makes you wonder how anything can grow here. Their starkness makes the colour and vigour of the vines pop even more when you visit. As you might expect, yields are naturally low and the fruit that eventuates from these hard-working vines is packed with as much character as the place itself. Vine age is a little lower on average with the oldest vines being around 30 years and the youngest planted at the same time as Santo Spirito’s youths; 2007. The vineyard sits at around 650m ASL and winemaking mirrors that of Santo Spirito. The resultant wine is denser and more concentrated with a similar exotic flavour but in a more savoury and spice-tinged frame.
